Here's what I ended up ordering for a jack:

It's the Omega 2-ton #29023 ultra low profile, extended reach. Other than being black (versus red), it's the exact Omega "Magic Lift" jack pictured in one of the other threads linked to above.
Came to $337 shipped (final price after shipping was about $45 less than anywhere else), so I thought that was a pretty good deal for what it is.
Looks like it will reach the center jack point from the front, no problem. Pictures of it doing so in another thread. Also it's about 2 1/2 inches longer than the AC jack pictured above (and the same height & width). It's a massive piece, but I will be doing 99% of my work outside and the jack only needs to be transported in/out of the garage (<20 feet).
Still shopping for stands. The AC replacement ESCO ones here are what I'm leaning toward. Just looking for a descent deal:

Getting some sturdy equipment will go a long way towards increasing my willingness to get under my car for any reason. I really appreciate the advice/insight provided here.
